Why does Trump have such a big lead in the polls? ( Archived) (35)

Mar 4, 2016 2:41 PM CST Why does Trump have such a big lead in the polls?
It is due to what is called "Confirmation Bias" and "Frequency Illusion".
This is something that plagues objective thinking in many persuits and decision making in politics, religion, investing etc. If so many people are saying it, it has to be right. It will serve you well to read this article.

Because americans are traumatized by the terrorism and refugees issue,, many thinks that it's enough to anoounce to the world that building walls around the american boarders and money would protect the country from whatever inconvenients that's existing in this times,,thus neglecting the true experiences needed to run a country,, i wonder how the americans could get out of this trap they're putting their feet into ,,,

Maybe they should have thought about the consequences before meddling in other people's affairs.. Now they want to sweep under the carpet the chaos they created & leave us Europeans to clean up their mess.

I agree the Americans are Scum BUT I will go Further - Having been ruled by our natural Enemies since the Common Market became the EU thanks to Gutless London based politicians I, for one of many in this neck of the woods with a long memory (Hell-fire Corner) show no respect to those who visit each year barging people off pavements thinking they own the three towns.

I have also never been nor never will I be called a European by any Brit without a fight and if it gets to it - never use Marquis of Queensberry rules !!

because he has a big mouth, big bank balance, and says what the people want to hear. Mostly about immigration. isn't immigration what made USA supposedly great? If he gets in the White House, USA are in for big problems. Don't forget, all that is on his mind is that big job, for a big man............but that man has to have intelligence and discretion, he has neither. God help you Americans if he gets there. Maybe time for a Lady President???

TheRedSquirrel87: You need to appreciate the power that "big personality" has over people who have no life. Every small personality and dull life fosters this celebrity and entertainment obsessed culture we live in and that same culture degenerates politics(and everything else).


Or it could be that only dickheads respond to polls, which kind of explains who is voting for Trump
